Scalia is hardly an activist judge. Isn't he a total traditionalist (is that what they call it?)

mjv2944, Yea, really he's probably one of the few but he's been involved in public service in our state his whole life starting as a police officer. So far he's proven to be honest I'm sure the longer he's in Wash the less likely that'll be.

Writing as a Democrat, I believe that regardless of the political party in control, we are still a divided country. Whether we want to blame Bush for that divisiveness or someone else, the fact is that many people are angry for a wide variety of reasons. From my perspective, it is the hypocrisy of many politicians and religious leaders that have pushed us over the edge as a nation. We struggle to find meaning and our leaders are struggling to fill their wallets and/or their pants.

A good honest man and he's a politician? This guys got you bullsh*tted. He has his share of skeletons, they just haven't been found just. I'm not voting for a single incumbent.

Boy, things are going to get bad if activist judges like Scalia start making legal decisions for all of us based on their own personal beliefs. Even more frightening is that the Supreme Court Judges are nigh-on impossible to unseat. Can we start a referendum for term limits on the Supreme Court?

I intend to vote Rep. against our Dem Senator who has been lamer than lame and a rampant spender. I would hve supported her but she's been completely ineffective. I do support and will continue to support our other Dem. senator. I'll also vote Republican for incumbent House Rep. who is a good honest man.

Justice Scalia should look to cleanup his own house first. Where in the Constitution does it say that the President of the United States can be APPOINTED by the supreme court?

Five word sound-bites as a measure of persuasion are idiotic. Stay the course. Vote Republican?
Change the course. Vote Democrat?

Seriously? Is that an actual argument or just mindless drivel that the scope of politics must be distilled to in order to attract voters? Cound on the fact that independants, moderates, and centrists require a little more than two sentances when we are the only ones that acknowledge that BOTH parties are way off track
